Charles Barkley laments lost friendship with Michael Jordan: 'The guy was like a brother to me'

Night 3 of ESPN “The Last Dance” took us to the 1993 NBA Finals, where Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls faced off against the Phoenix Suns.

Charles Barkley’s inclusion in the documentary was a given with that series, but not because of his friendship with Jordan. That ship sailed years ago, and Barkley is still sad about it.

During a radio appearance on Tuesday, Barkley discussed his relationship with Jordan, or lack thereof, while praising Jordan as the best basketball player ever.

From ESPN:

"The guy was like a brother to me for, shoot, 20-something years," Barkley said on Tuesday's Waddle and Silvy Show on ESPN 1000 in Chicago.
